"How about I eat you first, and we can have the good news while we're doing it, hmm?" Vernon teased.
"S—Scoundrel!" Chloe hit his chest playfully, much to Vernon's delight.
"Anyway, you should tell me about this good news first. I want to know," Vernon asked, though he already had a few expectations.
Chloe nodded. She sidestepped Vernon and returned with a document in her hand. She handed it to Vernon and said, "I've submitted my divorce forms. I followed all of your instructions about the information I need to put in, and I hope it will be an uncontested divorce."
Vernon opened the document, and he had a big smile after reading it. He was satisfied with the forms because everything had been processed.
"They said the first summon or notice will be sent to both parties—Vincent and I, next week, and he has three months to answer the summon," Chloe explained.
Vernon's smile faltered a little, "Why does it take so long? A month?"
